Well, I don't understand the details; I found this solution by testing all possibilities mentioned on the mailing list or found in duckduckgo searches. The key for me was the different behavior in Gnome. I verified the IBus solution on an armbian64 SBC (who really benefits from suckless programs): 1) Installation and configuration of ibus. 2) Autostart of ibus-daemon. 3) Installation of im-config and defining ibus as default. Maybe it is useful for someone. Best regards, Robert
